In a large bowl, combine yogurt, juice of one lemon, minced garlic, all spices (cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, allspice, cinnamon, black pepper, cardamom, onion powder, ginger, salt, cayenne), and oil. Whisk until well combined.
Add the chicken to the marinade and toss to coat completely. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
When ready to cook, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly oil it.
Arrange the marinated chicken in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. If using, scatter the optional sliced red onion over the top.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred at the edges.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest on the pan for 5 minutes. Then, chop the chicken into small, bite-sized pieces and toss with any juices on the pan.
While the chicken cooks, prepare the sumac onion salad. In a small bowl, combine the thinly sliced red onion, chopped parsley, and sumac. Mix well and set aside.
To make the white sauce, combine mayonnaise, tahini, sour cream, yogurt, minced garlic, chopped parsley, optional dried dill, juice of half a lemon, salt, pepper, and sugar in a medium bowl.
Whisk the sauce ingredients until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Assemble the bowls by starting with a base of cooked yellow rice. Top with the chopped chicken shawarma, drizzle generously with the white sauce, and add a helping of the sumac onion salad. Garnish with chopped lettuce and a lemon wedge.
